Troubleshooting

• If you see CORS errors, ensure you are using the /api prefix for all frontend API calls and that the Next.js proxy is configured.
• If you get 401 errors, make sure you are logged in and the token is present in localStorage.
• If you change backend or frontend ports, update the proxy in client/next.config.ts accordingly.
